Specifications of RBERT B. WHEATLEYS Revolving Tire-rab,'as set' forth in the annexed-drawings. Figure 2 is a. top view'o` the frame rr, .s .fg'whichv supports the crab ej'g h z k lm, on which the wheel n n a; n rests, and to which it is secured by the wrench p @working on the screw-boltu u., seen more plainly in' iig. l,

passingthrough the hub g-upward, and through theiron bolt y, downward, as shown in hg. 3. Two arms of the crab lr l are fastened tothe upright pestsoo: byfthe iron rodt t t, which passes through them, the posts being' provided-'with shoulders, upbnrwhich the arms rest when in a horizontal position, as shown in g. l. ab e d is the water-box, into which the wheel is dipped, `as shown by the dottel outline drawing, iig. 4, to cool and so shrink the -tire upon the wheel. 'f

Figurel is a sideview, whichsliows the end of' the timber fw w, the upper surface of which is seen in fig. 1,*- wheh is secured to the arms of the crab by bolts, (two of which are marked v v,) and through which the screw holt u passes. This'ti'mberis Vsupported `by the bulge :v on the boit u, which is firmly fastened thereto by the nut 'v n, also shown in iig. 3l' w is the end 'of a. piece of timber, which serves as a. support for the rodu, when it is given a horizontal position, as shown in the dotted'outline, fig. 4, and the upper edge of' it is represented Ain iig. 3by the dotted' line w- Figur'e 3 shows asectonal view of the device, which connects the crab with the framework below, and at Ythe same time allows the'crab tobe revolved in 'the wnter-box a d, as `shown in the perpendicular position already noted in tig. 4. '.lrheposts z z', one of which isseen in fig. l broken off-to show how the screw-bolt u connects with the eye-bolt y, have each a -hole to receive' the eye-bolt y, so as toallow a. free rotary motion.

The screw-bolt u passes'through the eye-bolt y, on which the'bglgezv `rests firmly, while the nut z secures the' lower end of the screw-bolt` u, yetv so as to allow 'it a Free rotating; motion in` the eye-bolt y, while the crab, with the wheel n n 'n n attached, is being revolvedpin the Water-bol( a b c d, as shown in fig. 2.

What I claim as n ew and original, isl. Y'

The device of the screw-bolt u', passing through and rotating. in the'eye-bolt y, which, being firmly fastened 4 `to the ora-b, allows the wheel to be revolved in the water, with the crabfor a. support, during the process of cooling the tire, and so as to govern completely the dish oi' the wheel more readily than it' the Work were performed with the wheel and crab in the usual horizontal position, or if the wheel were left without any support whatever.
